How can I make this plugin search only for the Artist? Now if I'm searching for Isis, I want the results to match exactly, I do not want results which contain the string "Isis", like for example "Crisis". I tried multiple settings but I still don't know if it's possible. Any help would be appreciated

Hi all, new member and fairly new foobar user. I see many others trying to add the quicksearch to their menu bar in DUI. First I want to confirm: is quicksearch still unable to be added to the menu bar? I've tried all of the (beginner) ways that I know how and haven't found anything. Even if I can't add it to the menu bar I'd like to add it somewhere to be easily accessible without switching to Columns UI. Can anyone broadly explain how to go about doing it? I can figure out the details. I have also used a splitter and tried to add it in an empty panel but the option doesn't appear to add quicksearch. Thank you for the help!

I have written an Autohotkey script, that removes certain substrings from text in the clipboard and puts the result into the Quicksearch edit. It is useful if you are browsing the www and want to look if a track is in your library. Because the track in your music library might be named slightly different, you have to remove some substrings, e.g. feat, vs, and, pres., braces, underscores and dashes.B.E.N. vs. Digital Nature feat. Brandon_A. Godfrey_-_Save Me God (Orjan Nilsen Remix) would be transformed intoB.E.N. Digital Nature Brandon A. Godfrey Save Me God

i updated my foo from version 0.9.6.5 to 1.1 and so with my additional components but i realized that quicksearch now has a autosearch-delay (~300ms) and starts to search when you type-in more than 2 digits..

in the old version there was no delay, the searchresults were displayed instantly and it starts to search when you type-in more than 0 digits

Just to make users with slow systems and/or large libraries confortable, not to mention that i don't understand the need of searching a single (or two) character in a library.BTW a new version is out, that you can download from here or using the "Get Updates" option from within foobar preferences.

very nice component so far.....but how do we emulate exactly the search from the original "library search". This search seems more powerful and returns more hits, but i dont know which tags are included. in the quicksearch options, i tried to add a bunch of strings in the standard "tagz string" .... which increased the number of hits i receive...but its still inferior to the original database search.

Q: is there a quick way to perfectly emulate the original Library search and transfer it into this nice Quicksearch toolbar?

Use the extended syntax in Quicksearch (See toolbar menu/Match).... but if you have set specifics fields in Preferences/Advanced/Tools/search Filter, results are not guaranteed 100% compatible unless you write a complex query

I'd prefer to set the exact Autosearch delay in ms for myself. At the moment I can only choose between 4 predefined delays. But none of them is suitable for me. Everybody has a different typing speed, so others might want to see such a feature, too.

I do not know if I maybe accidentally changed anything regarding the search.

As you can see in this image, searching for a song name or just a part of it gives me nothing...Here is the example that shows the song existing in the library(it's in the library and not in playlist only) but when typing "somewhere" in the search bar it doesn't show me anything.This all started when I tried making Japanese artist findable by foobar search...

As you can see on the picture. Artist name - japanese letters and Album Artist is latin letters...

I need your help guys... quicksearch worked for around 2 months and I don't think I messed with the settings...

Though I have this loaded in my config, I use it seldom and others may have better information.There is detailed documentation as per post one.

That said:

1. I do not know what version you are using - it is not the current one. 2. Concerning your settings, I was talking about the Search Configuration Settings available from the toolbar icon. They are self explanatory and can easily limit searches to a small subset of your files and cause your issue.

For example, if you ask it to search for a title of a track while limiting the search to only %artist% field = troubles.
